I think this is a great idea, but that it's premature to start
trying to get developers attention? Perhaps waiting until we
actually have narrowed down the requirements and have actually
collected some $?

Also, I have learned to hate Paypal. We don't need to give them a
bunch of money for nothing. We can figure out a better way to handle
funds. Remember this doesn't need to be an "instant" transaction, so
waiting for checks to clear is fine.

Thanks for the efforts, and let hope we can make something of this...
